Xobni Mobile BlackBerry App Review
You receive emails from lots of people, some with the sender’s contact info and others without them, and most likely, there’ll be plenty of such messages that you’ve not bothered to copy into a contact and sync it with your BlackBerry’s address book. The Xobni Mobile app for BlackBerry eases the job for you by pulling together phone calls, emails and text messages you’ve exchanged with others, with incoming contact details, to build a comprehensive address book that virtually links to everyone who is a common factor in the circle. It is similar to the Social Networking websites that shows common friends between you and another person, even if he/she is not in your friend’s list.
Xobni Mobile BlackBerry App Features
BlackBerry Xobni Mobile app can be used in two ways; either you can let it mine information for you from incoming emails and text messages automatically, or you can pay for letting it sync all the information it had extracted from all your email in Outlook, and get it to your BlackBerry. The second option is more precise as the mobile application automatically mining info from incoming emails is not that fool proof (sometimes, it extracts unwanted numbers as well). Further, no frequent syncing is required, even if the other guy had not mailed you for a month as the app syncs across from Outlook over the web, thereby getting all updated info.
The Xobini address book can be accessed by scrolling to the top, while you are typing an email. The contacts are sorted by those who you are in contact most often, even though specific search using letters/words is also possible. Alternatively, you can add the addresses the standard way, if you want to.
Given the size of information that Xobini puts together, it goes without mention that quite a few memory space will be taken up for the same. So, the app gives you, the user, an option whether to accumulate data in the phone memory or external memory card.
On the downside, the install experience could have been made much better. Also, you are required to set up the online account before you can use the app in the BlackBerry. And quite oddly, the app requires you to click open the app permissions page while you install it.
Conclusion
Xobini Mobile is an excellent BlackBerry app that combines the utilities of LinkedIn, Facebook, and Gwabbit, backed by seamless integration with the BlackBerry OS. With this app at your disposal, no longer would you be required to scavenge old emails for a person’s contact details again. Single license of Xobni Mobile BlackBerry app comes at a price tag of $9.99, while Xobni Mobile with Xobni One: $6.99 + $3.99 monthly fee or $39.90/year.
